Very good

I like them a lot. The socks are unfortunately a little thin/flimsy. I will be buying the non lightweight ones as well and trying them out. Will not be submitting a pic. Sizing tool online is 10/10 though.

Great shoes

I suggest buying a half size larger if you are going to wear socks with them.

Thanks, Steve! Great tip! Going up half a size with socks is often the perfect fit. Glad you're enjoying your Peluvas!

Third time is a charm

Customer service is awesome. I wish I were not so familiar with it though. In most shoes, I wear a 12. I deferred to the judgment of the sizing app and ordered 11.5. Too small. Sent back and ordered my usual 12. Still too small. Finally got a pair in 12.5. Good fit, but I wouldn't want them even the slightest bit smaller than they are. I've had several pairs of Vibrams, and these are different. A nice compromise of cushioning while still allowing good info about the ground beneath my feet. I wore them for a week, doing my home health PTA job, which is a mix of standing in a variety of environments and driving. I have briskly walked a paved, hilly, 2-mile loop in my neighborhood. So far, so good.

Excellent product

They took a little time to get used to, but my wife and I now love them! Quality material, very comfortable, and the look (for “toe shoes”) is as cool looking as they could be.

Another winner.

This is my third pair of Peluvas and these may be my favorites. First two pairs were strands but when they offered a more hiking focused shoe I was all over it. Normally I'm not a fan of the Bolo laces (or whatever they're called) but these work just fine. And they even have a neat clip on the pull tab that hooks on your laces to keep it from bouncing around, or having to be tucked and tied off somewhere.

Rturn/exchange

I am so glad I paid the $3.98 for returns and exchanges as I had to exchange 2 times and ultimately returned due to sizing. Peluva makes it easy to exchange and return. The fee was worth it.

Thanks for sharing, Debbie! We're glad Redo made the process smooth and easy for you. Definitely worth it for hassle-free exchanges. We appreciate you giving Peluva a try!

Excellent exchange/return policy

Unfortunately I have had to exchange and then return the shoes I ordered. Firstly, I ordered too small, twice. Both exchanges went well. The last pair I received worked great for my big toe length, but then my little toe was too short to fit in the toe slot.

A size that works for me and parkour!

I wear a size 6 womens normally. I tried Peluva's size 6 in the desert boot, but my toes felt cramped. I gave my desert boots to my mom (she loves it) and tried the lightweight trainer in size 7. It's got ample space for my toes and feels so comfortable! I haven't tried 6.5 yet, but I wonder if those will probably fit me too considering how much space the 7 has. After switching to Peluva for my parkour training, I feel so much more grounded and balanced due to the increased sensitivity of having all toes separate and able to move. Now I can't go back to traditional shoes when training, which feel so much more cramped and clumsy.

Pretty Nice overall and my feet feel comfortable wearing the socks by itself but together with the shoes they're a bit too tight for 9. 5 but still perfectly fit. I'll just get used to it or wear them seperate on different occasions.

How I found Peluva

This one is a little long for a review but I hope it helps people out if you may be a little skeptical about This brand or even this style of shoe. So about 15 years ago I had a really bad foot injury that took almost a year to heal up. About 6 months later after I healed up I was finally able to walk around no problem on my foot with no issues. Then roughly five years after that my foot and ankle would start to cramp up so bad every night when I went to sleep that when I woke up in the morning it would be painful to put on my socks and then I would have to stretch my feet out for a good ten to fifteen minutes just to be able to put my boots on to go to work but even then walking around at work my feet still ached for most of the day. I had no clue what was going on with my feet so I started doing my own research because I didn’t want to pay all kinds of money on custom molded soles or inserts for my feet that I felt would only mask the problem which I just want to say is my own opinion. So with all the research I was doing brought me to another brand of toe shoes because Peluva was not around yet. And I will tell you they helped me out a lot. Within a month or two of time wearing them my feet stopped hurting because I was stretching and strengthening them with every step I took. Fast forward to now. The one thing I hated the most about the other brand of shoe is they are not designed to be on pavement and concrete but more for training and trails so your heel and feet after awhile start to really ache unless you’re on more natural ground. Let’s fast forward to present time. One day I was scrolling through Facebook and Peluva popped up I watched the add didn’t think much about it kept on scrolling and then on another add I saw Mark say that they were true Zero drop but with a thick foam midsole which then caught my attention because I could walk more comfortably on both pavement and concrete. So then I started doing more research on Peluva and watched more of Marks adds about Peluva on YouTube and how he was talking about his research on feet and mobility and was talking about a lot of the research I remember looking up plus a lot more and the design and description of his shoes and why. I was then sold on them and bought a pare of the green Strand ATR and I’m glad I did. I wear them everywhere they are so comfortable really flexible and honestly super lightweight. I read their reviews and decided not to go a half size larger but to go with my true size 12. Even with wearing thicker Marano wool toe socks they fit perfectly and are not to snug but perfect. I have not yet had a chance to take them hiking yet on some of Maine’s mountainous trails yet but I’m sure they will hold up. I will let you know.

Best neuropathy shoes!

Completely amazed at how these shoes are helping combat my recent neuropathy diagnosis. For the last year, I have been unable to wear any normal shoes or socks due to foot neuropathy and was limited to only wearing sandals for some form of relief. These minimalist shoes help take away the pain and give me full flexibility of movement and I can now feel the Earth under my feet again. Thank you Peluva!

There great

Love them, but the only niggle is the height they come up on your ankle is less then what is shown on the picture - which I don't like. However, I've already bought another couple pairs, and would recommend.

Good initial experience!

Ordered 1/2 size too small. Peluva made it easier to return shoes and I received larger shoes within a few days. Easiest experience I believe I’ve ever had returning an item. Shoes are very comfortable!

Comfy Socks

Socks, once fitted properly around toes, are extremely light and unobtrusive. Makes putting Peluva shoes on easier. Recommend!
